You have requested "on-the-fly" machine translation of selected content from our databases. The alternative tables of contents in particular expand our understanding of the contexts in which sf works and through. Masri may feel that her own organization is the most workable one, but she acknowledges the usefulness of envisioning all of the stories (and essays) from different perspectives. The latter two features encourage students and instructors to approach the literature in different ways. Because Masri includes an index, a preface, and a historical overview by way of an introduction, this volume fulfills the requirements of a suitable anthology that students and teachers alike will find helpful in their studies, as well as being pleasurable to read.īut Masri has gone beyond the basics by providing a succinct guide to sf research as well as a chronological and an "alternative thematic" table of contents. The stories and commentaries alike are in chronological order, with each chapter encompassing more than a century of sf writing. The three essays that follow the work of fiction provide insights and interpretations from various viewpoints, allowing students to join the critical conversation in sf and beyond. Masri introduces these works succinctly, placing them in the contexts of their time, the author's corpus, and the genre of sf as a whole. Most of the works are short stories, though there are excerpts from larger works of fiction one longer work, Karel Capek's groundbreaking 1921 play R.U.R., appears in its entirety, though in an old translation.
Masri opens each chapter with an overview of the theme that governs her selection of the nine works of fiction and three essays included in the chapter. Masri has arranged her collection into six chapters along lines that should be familiar to novice and experienced sf readers alike: alien encounters, artificial life, time, utopias and dystopias, disasters and apocalypses, and evolutions. This anthology serves her target audiences well: students in the growing number of introductory courses in sf at colleges and universities and those who teach them. Heather Masri's Science Fiction: Stories and Contexts assembles an impressive array of over seventy short stories, essays, and excerpts from larger works that should tantalize first-time readers and please veterans. Heather Masri, editor ofScience Fiction: Stories and Contexts, has prepared an anthology that recognizes, and is designed to meet, the needs of students and instructors in an introductory survey course in science downloadd into major themes, her comprehensive. Excellent collections of science fiction abound, but very few have been prepared expressly for classroom use.
